Chris-

You may have the right size on your parts T'all, or both of yours, or
whatever, but I assure you that they are not that easy to come by.  When
I was over at Anything Scout two weeks ago and mentioned that I was
looking for one, the guy said, "Doubt it!"  Then we went over to the
scrap yard and he spoke to his boss, looked around and said, "I would go
ahead and change over to the 11".  Those 12's are ridiculous to find." 
And when I picked it up from Santa Fe, the mechanic said, "You better
change those brakes, 'cause you ain't never gonna find drums for that. 
This is after my earlier experience, and after my former IH mechanic
told me the same thing.  If you've got any spares, I posted a couple of
weeks ago that I needed a driver's side rear.  If you want to sell me
one, I'd be much obliged!!!
